  • Banking challenges: Banking vacancies decreased by 11%, reflecting restructuring and regulatory pressures
  • Regional disparities persist: London experienced a 7% increase in vacant posts in the financial sector, while the rest of the United Kingdom was faced with a drop of 4%

The combination of an increase in investment in AI, political changes in the United Kingdom and declining interest rates made 2024 a central year for the finance sector according to 2024 in Review UK Finance Market Trends report by the first professional recruiter Morgan McKinley and data analysts on the Vacancysoft market. AI and automatic learning continue to reshape the industry, with an increase of 98% in annual sliding of AI investments. Almost two thirds (63%) of financial institutions are now investing in AI, a substantial increase of 32% in 2023.

Fintech leads to the boom of vacationers with record growth in 2024

The Fintech sector led the growth of professional vacancies in 2024, displaying an increase of 44% in annual sliding across the United Kingdom. This increase was motivated by an increase in funding for venture capital, a widespread adoption of AI and automation and continuous fragmentation of the sector, which favored the emergence of new businesses. Fintech has become a magnet for talents, especially in commercial roles.

Leading the costs, the payment wise men recorded an astonishing increase of 225% of the vacant posts, reaching 335 roles. In comparison, Ebury Partners posted an increase of 148% to 286 roles, highlighting their success in the scaling of operations and capitalizing on international payment opportunities. Business development and sales roles have dominated, representing 1,277 vacant stations, an increase of 54% in annual sliding and 10% of all openings.

Accounting growth

The accounting sector rebounded sharply in 2024, with a 29% increase in vacancies, reaching its highest request in five years, representing 54% of all openings. This resurgence has been motivated by an increase in investments in green services and more in -depth integration of AI, which has created new opportunities for professionals, in particular in tax roles.

Tax professionals have experienced an increase in demand, vacancies reaching their highest level in five years driven by the evolution of government policies and regulatory changes, which has created opportunities for accountants and consultants having tax expertise. PWC has declared a 30% increase in annual shift in vacant posts, exceeding 1,000 roles, driven by its growth in sustainable practices and increased use of intelligent technologies. Regional companies such as Francis Clark and Azets have recorded the largest growth, vacancies increasing 76% and 59% respectively.

The banking sector faces a significant reduction in vacant stations

In 2024, the vacant banking posts were contracted in most of the 11% divisions and organizations in 2024, reflecting current restructuring and regulatory challenges. The roles of risk and conformity, which have traditionally dominated hiring, experienced a sharp decline of 20%, reflecting a reduced regulatory activity. The main players such as Natwest and Barclays displayed a sharp drop in job offers, with reductions of 51% and 45%, reflecting continuous restructuring at the industry level. Lloyds Banking Group reported a lower drop by 19%, with 1,931 roles displayed during the year. Economic pressures and changing priorities for hiring trends strongly shaped in the sector.

However, certain areas, such as banking and computer development operations, have shown resilience, growth of 6% and 2. These gains highlight a pivot towards the rationalization of operations and the adoption of technology to improve the ‘efficiency. Despite the contraction, initiatives such as proposed regulatory reforms allowing investment banks to access retail capital could stimulate activity and unlock new growth opportunities in the years to come.

London leads to the growth of finance

While London experienced a 7% increase in vacant posts in the finance sector, the rest of the United Kingdom experienced a 4% drop, exposing persistent regional imbalances in employment growth. This disparity highlights the need for strategic efforts to decentralize opportunities and promote development in regions outside the capital, ensuring a more balanced market through the United Kingdom.

Victoria Walmsley, CEO, Morgan McKinley UK, said: “The British job market in 2024 has demonstrated remarkable resilience, despite global uncertainties and economic pressures. . The United Kingdom is positioned for additional transformation.
